timing belt change
#1
Hi!
I have a Berlingo van on a 52 plate. 1.9D I presume a DW engine. Having now done 80 thousand miles plus I feel I should do the timing belt. I am very happy to do this myself apart from Haynes saying you NEED the tool to tension properly. Is this really that critical or is it possible just to get the tension right by feel/rack of eye?? Surely it is possible to note tension of the belt coming off and tension new belt similar?
Also, what else is it prudent to replace at the same time?
Many thanks!Big Grin
Phil
